Here's a recap of 2010.

I broke up with my boyfriend of three years. I'm loving the freedom as well as the boredom that ensued. We're still great friends, at least I hope we are. I'm not ready for any relationship yet, and I don't see myself being ready in the near future. By the time I'm actually ready, I might look like this:



But it's cool. I'll just have to pick up table penis. Tennis.

I went to England to visit my sister, and I'm determined to do my Masters there. Hopefully write a masterpiece while I'm at it as well. Great dreams I have.

I won in a group office pool competition! And I really suck at the game! I guess some people suck even more.

I broadened my horizons and experienced new feelings with new people, which did not end favourably. But we live and we learn.

I got another tattoo.

I went on a trip to Langkawi with my besties and drank copious amounts of beer.

I went chasing after a Korean actor in Changi airport and got into a scuffle whilst trying to get his hand print, all the time wondering what the hell I was doing.

I made a promise to myself to try to meet new people every weekend. So far, the going's been good. It's fun to meet random strangers and talk and drink. Like that time during Oktoberfest where we met this old German guy. Really random.

My best friend gave birth to a beautiful boy, who will turn 1 in less than three months! Here's a picture I stole from her Facebook:



I had my first ever surprise birthday party, and my friends damn near scared the shit out of me. I was so happy I almost cried. Could have been the aftershock, but meh, it was all good.

Christmas gets less and less exciting every year. I suppose it will stay that way till my sister has kids. Children are so much more excited about fat men in red suits and a green tree with boxes underneath. Christmas made me want to be a child again - I remember sitting on the porch with my parents, drinking reindeer shandy, and waiting for midnight to put baby Jesus in the nativity set we had. What happier times.

I found that I lost something dear to me, and it's true how they say you don't realize what you have till you lose it. It's the ship that I wish I had got on, even for a day.

I had my fourth trip to Korea and absolutely loved it, so much that I'm considering actually working there. That would make my mum very, very happy. I had my soberest New Year's eve ever since I discovered alcohol. I also 'upgraded' my tattoo, and I'm already wondering what I should get for my next one.

And now I'm back to work! Oh wait, there's that Siem Reap trip next weekend. Heh heh. Beautiful start to 2011. One year left to the end of the world, according to my sister (who badly wants to pair me up with a friend who has four Ks for his initials). Her randomness is absolutely uplifting. She should realize how much happiness she brings to our lives and STOP WORRYING ABOUT THINGS.

Tonight, I will drink to a great 2010, and an even greater 2011. May you smile a lot this year.
